2007-11-16: “Higher standards of elegance”

There was some discussion over the option on the window menu which controls the attribute known to the developers as “stick”. This makes the window follow you around when you move workspaces; it’s useful, for example, to keep a clock applet always in the corner. Some people think that the window menu should have two options for this, and some people think that that is a waste of space, and not elegant, and rather it should just have one option which toggles. In that case, however, it’s not very clear how to word it: someone has suggested “Always on current workspace”, but what does it mean when that’s turned off? “Never on current workspace”? “Sometimes on current workspace”? The Human Interface people were helpful here.
